We got to Le Mars, Iowa between 1 and 2pm. It's the Ice Cream Capitol of the World! We went to the Blue Bunny Ice Cream Shoppe & Museum (which by the way, they've moved! The address we found online wasn't correct. They moved to a different location downtown in their business district). Sam bought a t-shirt and I got a Neapolitan candle in a milk jar. And then we each got a chocolate dipped waffle cone with Blue Bunny chocolate chip mint ice cream. It hit the spot. ;) We wandered upstairs after a daycare class went up there for a field trip. They were sitting watching a video, which we heard parts of about the main ingredients of ice cream and how it's made. We wandered and visited the displays. There wasn't much. Just some contracts and bills signed by the founders of Blue Bunny. Lots of Blue Bunny memorabilia and old Blue Bunny milk cartons and ice cream gallons.
After we finished our ice cream, we headed towards the Best Western in Fort Dodge. They have a HUGE pool AND A HOT TUB!! We stayed about an hour in each... ;) Then we went to the restaurant attached, Buford's Steak House & Barbeque. They have really great Smoked Chicken Nachos! We also each had a steak dinner...mine with potato salad and corn on the cob and Sam's with corn on the cob and deviled eggs. I ATE SO MUCH I THINK I'M GONNA BURST! We're definitely goin' all out on our last day...
Love Always & Forever,
Stephanie
